~9 min read 1,767 words

After Bai Lang broke Li Jue and Guo Si's army, he directly pressed toward Chang'an. The department of Zhang Ji, who stayed in Chang'an, and Li Jue and Guo Si, who gathered the defeated army, joined forces and also held Chang'an firmly. This time, the two temporarily put down their hatred and, under Zhang Ji's mediation, stood together again.

The three-party combined army still had more than one hundred thousand troops, and the two of them, while fleeing, were actually able to relatively cleverly take the Emperor and the civil and military officials and flee back to Chang'an. Bai Lang led more than a hundred cavalry straight to the foot of Chang'an city, and also directly challenged outside the city gate, "Li Jue, Guo Si, two thieves! Quickly send out the Emperor, and if you bind yourselves to surrender, you can still keep a whole corpse! If you are obsessed, you will be cut into a thousand pieces!"

Bai Lang spurred his horse and roared. The Xiliang soldiers on Chang'an city wall could not stand firm. They had already seen the power of Bai Lang's charge. Now that this person was challenging under the city, not a single person dared to come out of the city to meet the battle. "Bai Lang has the courage of a hegemon. We just need to hold Chang'an city. His number of people is small and he will definitely not be able to attack the city. When the food is exhausted, he will leave." Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, casually gave Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji a strategy.

This strategy was far from Jia Wenhe's level, but it could be considered a way. Jia Wenhe also knew that the morale of the three armies was already chaotic. Now, if they went out of the city to meet the battle, no matter how many people went out, it would be a pile of loose sand. Of course, there was another poisonous strategy, which was to let the Emperor issue an edict to order Bai Lang to leave. However, what kind of person was Jia Wenhe? A person who was good at planning for himself would never propose this strategy.

What were Li Jue and Guo Si? Were they worth Jia Wenhe investing all his family wealth?

Seeing that the Chang'an city did not come out to fight and just defended to the death, Bai Lang had no way. He only had this little military strength. Even if he wanted to split his troops to attack the city, it was impossible. And if he forcefully climbed the city, although Li Jue and Guo Si's departments had already lost their courage, as long as Zhang Ji's department could still pass military orders, and with dozens or hundreds of 'Junhou'-level soldiers forcing him to death, even Bai Lang would probably be difficult to break through.

With the courage of a hegemon, after killing hundreds of Han soldiers, didn't he also commit suicide at Wujiang? Bai Lang knew that in this world, his martial arts and destructive power were the upper limit of the hegemon. This world was truly very stable. If an 'Outer Scene' expert who reached the supernatural powers came in from his world, he would be finished. Only strong men like him who practiced the body could exert combat power.

Bai Lang looked at the group of shrinking turtles on the city wall, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly spurred his horse to charge toward the city gate, braving the arrows on his head, and killed to the distance of an arrow. Bai Lang's Qi exploded, and his whole person, together with the Qingzhi horse under his crotch, seemed to be shrouded in a white tiger. Then he roared and stabbed his long spear forward.

The huge white tiger left his body, leaped and ran to the city gate here, and with just one strike, tore the heavy Chang'an city gate to shreds. However, behind it were stones and soil bags. It turned out that the defenders had already blocked the city gate. Under the simultaneous firing of arrows, Bai Lang also blocked dozens of them. He turned his horse and took down his bow and arrow, and shot and killed a person on the city wall with a backhand arrow.

It was a pity that he could not break the city after all. Just when Bai Lang was a little helpless, Yang Feng from Zhongnan Mountain led a ten-thousand-man army to arrive. Afterward, the imperial relative Dong Cheng also led several thousand soldiers to arrive outside Chang'an city. When these two saw Bai Lang, they all bowed and worshiped, regardless of the fact that their military strength was far greater than Bai Lang's. "Since the two of you have arrived, then we will attack the city tomorrow!" Bai Lang said.

The military strength was only ten thousand or so, so don't talk about feints or main attacks. Bai Lang would lead the vanguard, his subordinates would follow, and Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's soldiers would follow closely to cover and climb the city. Bai Lang did not ride a horse, holding a large shield and iron maces, carrying a long spear on his back, and was the first to push the scaling ladder to climb the city. This scaling ladder had rollers underneath, the ladder could be extended, and the end had an iron hook more than three feet long. Bai Lang pushed the scaling ladder weighing hundreds of catties and ran as fast as the wind. Before the rocket was nailed, he had already pushed it to the foot of the city and hooked it, and the other scaling ladders also leaned over one after another under the cooperation of thousands of people.

Bai Lang held the large shield and charged up along the scaling ladder. He charged extremely fast. In the time it took to throw a stone or fire a round of arrows, Bai Lang had already broken into the city wall. As soon as he showed his head, six or seven sharp spears exploding with Qi stabbed over, and there were also strong crossbows fired from the horse faces on the left and right. Bai Lang let out a roar, and the sound formed a Qi wave that directly defeated the Qi in front. He slapped the large shield horizontally, pushing away the spears in front while blocking the strong crossbow fired from the left, and the crossbow arrow fired from the right was knocked away by him with an iron mace.

Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they would slide off after hitting the fish-scale armor on Bai Lang's body. After he exploded his Qi, the Qi outside his armor was also very solid. In the blink of an eye, Bai Lang had climbed the city. He repeated his old trick, directly threw the large shield, handed the iron mace to his left hand, took the long spear from his back with his right hand, and began to kill. Spear picking and mace hitting, but in a few breaths, Bai Lang gained a foothold on the city wall and opened a foothold.

The enemy soldiers also exploded their Qi and charged over with spears. Bai Lang brandished the iron mace in his left hand and swept across, breaking the spearheads one by one, and took the opportunity to sweep across with the long spear, directly cutting off the heads of five or six people. At this time, other soldiers also climbed the city one after another. Under Bai Lang's charge, they had time to form a formation and began to try to control the city wall. Bai Lang killed fiercely along the city wall. When he reached the stairs, he killed until the blood flowed down the stairs, submerging his ankles.

He used the long spear to pick up the corpses of the Xiliang strong soldiers who were eight or nine feet tall, directly using them as weapons to throw into the archer formation below, while he himself ignored it and forcefully charged braving the rain of arrows. Bai Lang used the iron mace and long spear to block, but in the end, he was shot like a hedgehog. These were all strong arrows that could break the martial general's Qi. Even though Bai Lang had fish-scale armor, he could not avoid being shot through.

Fortunately, he had the Golden Bell Shield. After these arrows shot through the armor, they had already been blunted and deformed. Even the pointed steel arrows fired by those particularly strong archers at close range, after penetrating his Qi and armor, could only enter the flesh by two or three points at most, and would be squeezed out by his muscles. Bai Lang was also covered in blood, but he did not stop or retreat a step, directly killing into the archers, killing those who should be killed and dispersing those who should be dispersed.

The soldiers behind were also shouting and fighting, following Bai Lang along the stairs all the way down, cutting off the iron chains and starting to open the gate. "Chang'an city is broken!" Li Jue, Guo Si, and others directly went to the palace to kill the Emperor and the civil and military officials, but they were persuaded by Jia Xu one step ahead and hid. Bai Lang could not stop the Xiliang soldiers from fleeing. They all ran from other city gates. Fortunately, the Emperor was finally found.

Bai Lang saw this little Emperor, "Your Majesty, forgive the end general for not performing the full ceremony because of the armor on his body. Now Chang'an is broken, please return to the old capital Luoyang, and I will escort you." Bai Lang's speech was a bit incoherent, and the etiquette was not very complete, and the Emperor's side was directly protected by Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's department.

Not long after, there was an imperial edict on the top, appointing Bai Lang as General of the Cavalry and General of the Middle of the Golden Wu. However, Bai Lang directly declined the edict. "I came here only to help Your Majesty restore the Han Dynasty, not for this wealth." After sending Emperor Xian to Luoyang, Bai Lang left with his elite cavalry, "Dong Cheng and others are imperial relatives, they can still serve the Emperor. I am not patient with restraint, so I am leaving." Not long after Bai Lang left, CaoCao arrived. Bai Lang went south and missed CaoCao who came from the east.
